Backyard Chickadee

These little birds are fun to watch. They're fearless and will let you get to with 2-3' of them if you don't move. Caught this on in a tree just outside my back door.

Great shots, Bob!

Thanks Annie. I'm experimenting with shooting in RAW format, then editing in Aurora software. These little creatures make for a good subject.

Glad you like it. The birds were sitting in a plum tree.

Beautiful Bob. Which season do they hang out in New England? They winter here in southern Vancouver Island.

Thanks Shalimar. We're fortunate to have these little beauties year round. This time of year they're bringing the juveniles to the feeders. They zoom down from the trees, grab a sunflower seed and most of the time fly off to a nearby branch to crack it open. Often when I'm going to fill the feeders, I'll hear them nearby, almost as if they know I'm re-stocking the food.

Sounds wonderful Bob. I have never seen a baby chickadee.

I get alot of humming birds in the summer, we sit in the front yard clicking away. Unfortunatly ,they are all on my other computer so I can't down load them. They will come right up to you ,their not afraid of anything.
Nice shots Bob.....lindap
